May Sypher Hewitt im Atlanta Journal, ntled; Where He Lands at La NOSE AND BATHING SUIT, Interesting Ingredients of “Drum- aticka” Discovered by Alan Dale. When women know how to write. which dappens most infrequently, and very occasionally—it 1s my humble opin- jon that they are infinitely more enter- | taining and far more effective than man, Their sex creeps into their work and polishes it with @ glossy and glowing femininity, tn which human nature is prettily and daintily reflected. But the Uterary woman ts so rare; the would-be Mterary woman {s plentiful as the Sum- mer clam, and quite as heavy and indi- gestible. Miss Johanna Staats has written @ novel called “Drumsticks, issued by, the Transatlantic Publishing Company,’ that is an excellent example of what a sensitive woman can do when she has acquired the Iterary habit. It is written with a grace and symmetry that saves [t from much of the bathos that would have resulted from a mascu- line pen's attempt to dabble in such a Story, although Miss Staats errs occ sionally and is at times absurd, She has given us a dainty little maiden heroine of seven Summers, the illegiti- mate child of a columbine and a clown, and she has shown us this little life suddenly moved into the surroundings of wealth and luxury. The hero of the book is a rather Quixotic person called Jack Poole, whom even Miss Staate's skill has not rendered perfectly intelligi- ble. Poole 1s married, or—as Annie Marla would say, “a married man"—and his wife is the pure and saintly Char- lotte, whose eyes are “small, pale brown, and very kindly; her nose neat and in harmony with the rest of her | face." But Poole ts restless and discon- tented. Perhaps Charlotte's neat nose vexed him. A tidy nose might be a nul- sance, both to its possessor and its pos- Sessor's friends, Give me a large, untidy nose any day. At any rate, Poole met Sophie—a lady with a past—in the fra- grant, sun-kissed sea at Atlantle City. “She turned upon her back, rising and falling upon the green Atlantic as com- posedly as if in a steamer chair upon the deck of a liner, * * * Her arms were over her head. They matched her face, Her hands were clasped beneath her head. Her bathing dress was cut in the French fashion, was of thin silk, and was, naturally, very wet, and conse- quently clinging,” Lucky, thrice-lucky Sophie, was not at Asbury Park most un-Bradley-like gown! “Here was a woman whose feet and arms were naked, the remainder of her very beautiful person being veiled only in a thin faded ~ilk bathing costume, which was audacious to the limit of | decency, and the woman talked through | Ups virginal as to purity of curve to a strange man—himself—whom she had met for the first time in the wate! However, Miss Staats insists all the time that everything in her book 1s sec- ondary to the character of Drumstick: and that all the characters are intro- | duced merely as a background for| Drumsticks, ‘The child ts the daughter | of Sophie, and is named after the legs! of a chicken—the drumsticks—that no- body wants, Poole 1s immensely fasci- hated with the little maiden, and as he has entered into a Maison with Sophie, | he sces a great deal of her, Finally, | disgusted with Sophie, and anxious to| rescue the child from its surroundings, | he decides to adopt Drumsticks, This | he does, inflicting a frank confession of his evil doings upon the pure and neat- | nosed Charlotte, The history of Drum- sticks in Poole's house is really charm- ingly told, and the appearance of Sophie | upon the scenes to claim the child, when it has been comfortably and artis- tically established, is a clever and dra- matic piece of work. The little maiden dies at the end of the book in a rather | conventional and Eva-like way, but as nobody has ever yet been able to ‘nvent that it} wore this Pretty Tea Jncket. This sketch represents a charming tea jacket in biscutt-colored glace silk. It is liberally trimmed with white chif- fon, gathered and puffed, a band of passementerie crosses the bust, and the wide sesh and ends ai composed of figured Chine ribbon, A Smart Costame. # swagger frock in the modish grass linen attracted no end of attention from the odd cut. It was of the soft tan tint so much in favor, and had trimmings of dull blue and black striped linen, The enormously flaring skirt was lifted at one side to display the underskirt of plain, dull blue taffeta, exquisitely full and plain. The outer skirt of linen showed a smaft facing of the dull blue linen, The blouse came to the hips, and was extremely full; a broad box- plait extended in double breasted fash- fon down the front, and was ornamented in buttons of dull blue enamel set with glittering rhinestones, A yoke of the striped linen was finished by a stock of the same; a belt of this ma- terial banded the waist. The large sleeves were puffed to the elbow, with a smaller puff below falling over the lower arm. With this was worn a pic- turesque hat of rough yellow straw, trimmed with lots of dull blue tulle and spiky black wings. = + Bath-Room Ri Some sort of a pretty rug 1s necessary to put beside the bathtub to step out upon, and it is quite essential that it should be of some material in which the colors are well set. There are on sale cork mats, and others which resemble Turkish towelling, only they are of heavy weight, but the rug to be made at home is frequently in demand, One ts made of coarse basket canvas, with a worked with thick ingrain or colored cotton, and each stitch crossing over one thread of the material.

One of the most elaborate forecasts is s tallas-made suit of brown cloth trimmed with a narrow steel and Jet passemen. terle, The vest is of violet velvet, while the sleeves and revers of the coat are trimmed with bands of fox fur, A hands Some buckle of oxidized silver clasps the waist, giving an added slenderness to the figure, Gray and yellow is to be one of the new combinations in cloth this Fall, and a tailor-made suit of gray has « vest of yellow cloth, ornas mented with big pearl buttons, Boiled Frosting for Layers ang Tops of Cakes, Two cups of fine pulverized sugar, whites of two eges, one-half cup of | boiling water, two teaspoonfuls of exe tract of vanilla, Put sugar and water over fire and boil until the syrup is as thick as mucilage and will string from the spoon or candy in cold water.
